Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 1 Peter 3:17

No matter what trials come our way, we can rise up and stand firm in our faith. In fact, part three of this 4-part Bible Plan from Pastor Amy Groeschel is designed to help you grow in your knowledge of God, expand your love for Him, and give you the courage to live out the truth of Scripture in every season—especially the heavy ones.

This reading plan includes five daily devotions based on Ryan Leak’s book "Chasing Failure: How Falling Short Sets You Up for Success." This study will explore how overcoming our fear of failure frees us to pursue the dreams that God calls us to pursue.

The truth of the matter is that we all are called to forsake all and to pick up our cross and follow Christ. That is the Christian life. The readings this week help us reflect on the cost of following Christ. The goal is instead to shift our attention heavenward and to cultivate a heart that can see God’s big picture.

1 Peter was written to the “elect exiles of the Dispersion” (1 Peter 1:1), a group of believers forced to flee their homes and lives due to persecution. Although they lost much, Peter reminds his readers that they have “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading” (1 Peter 1:4). Truly, Jesus is our Living Hope, transcending all our difficulties to provide hope and courage amid opposition.

It isn't always easy to bring your Christian faith into your secular workplace. This plan will provide Biblical encouragement and challenge you to look for opportunities to illuminate the gospel message at work.
